[QUOTE="Redbadge, post: 5894472, member: 61463"] Well, I guess we could debate the sale margins on each book sold, but I wouldn't even know where to begin with that one. Otherwise, I would think that selling out their large print runs would equate to profitability. If you won't take the word of the president of Wizards of the Coast that a high point of the edition was it's sales numbers, I don't know if you'll even care about my other links (primarily best sellers lists). Also, I would be more than happy to take a look at anyone else's links. Listen, just so everyone knows, I don't care if healing surges, martial dailies, or dragonborn are in 5e. I liked AD&D; I loved 3.x when it came out; and I'll admit I'm most partial to 4e (not the least because the person who would become my wife joined our 4e group when it first came out in 2008). No matter what happens in 5e, I'll always have these old editions [U]and[/U] people that will play them with me. What *I* want is the sleekness of the system and prep speed from 4e, and the intertwined fluff and crunch from 3.x that was largely missing from the subsequent edition. I hope 5e has the fast and sharp combat that neither of these systems really had. But as long as 5e looks closely like 3.x or 4e (or earlier editions), I'll still probably buy and play it, because no matter how much we argue, each of these editions really aren't that different from each other. I'm still rolling funny shaped dice while making funny voices. Sincerely yours, Redbadge [/QUOTE]
